Jaylen Waddle Delivers Another Productive Outing in Loss

Friday, October 31, 12:53 AM

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle caught six of his nine targets for 82 yards during Thursday's Week 9 loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Waddle has quietly been quite productive despite Miami's overall offensive struggles this year. In the five games since Tyreek Hill was placed on injured reserve, he is averaging 4.8 catches, 80.2 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns. He ranks as the overall WR7 in PPR leagues so far, albeit with at least one more game played than most of his fellow receivers. On a points per game basis, he ranks 23rd. Managers should continue to trust Waddle as a solid WR2 option heading into a potentially negative game script scenario against the Buffalo Bills.

Matthew Golden is Unstartable in Fantasy Entering Week 9

Tuesday, October 28, 1:07 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden has disappointed many fantasy managers this season, as he's felt like he was on the cusp of breaking out but hasn't. In Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Golden had one of his least productive fantasy outings this season, with three receptions for just four yards. Golden, the 2025 first-round pick, has just two games of five or more targets and has been a top 24 fantasy wide receiver just once through seven games. His involvement in the Packers' offense took another hit when Christian Watson played his first game of the season and immediately caught 4-of-4 targets for 85 yards. While the thought is that better days are certainly on the horizon for Golden, he can't be a starting option right now for fantasy managers in Week 9 against the Panthers until we see the Packers show true intent to involve Golden more in the offensive game plan.
